I am new to self hosting so please bear with me:

I just found out my wife is paying Deluxe hosting (https://www.deluxehosting.com/) $100 a month for a website. There is nothing spectacular about the site and there are grammatical errors that someone should have caught. I feel like the cost of the site is a bit ridiculous and want to run a thought by you all before I try to implement it:

My thought was to host a Wordpress site on one of Linodes shared CPU plans. I was looking at the $5 per month plus $2 backup plan. As long as my wife owns the domain name of her site, this should work, right? Is there something better you can think of? Are there additional costs to this set up that I am missing?

Thanks!
